“…These data are consistent with recent findings showing reduction of the systemic level of norepinephrine and brain natriuretic peptide after CRT (23,24). However, further prospective studies with serial assessment of autonomic tone including neurohumoral evaluation are warranted.…”

“…They concluded that that BNP levels reflected different degrees of left ventricular reverse remodeling and indicated ineffective CRT. Hernandez et al 21 and Delgado et al 22 found the basal value of BNP decreased at the end of the follow‐up in the responders to CRT and increased in the nonresponders. Pitzalis et al 23 studied the prognostic value of BNP in the management of patients receiving CRT.…”

Natriuretic peptide (NP) levels (B-type natriuretic peptide [BNP] and N-terminal proBNP) are now widely used in clinical practice and cardiovascular research all over the world and have been incorporated into many cardiovascular guidelines for heart failure (HF). The roles of NP levels are evolving rapidly not only in diagnosis, therapy monitoring, and risk stratification of HF, but also in differential diagnosis of acute dyspnea, predicting death and rehospitalization in HF patients. NP assays have been applied in permanent cardiac pacing in recent years, whereas it is still not well known how NP levels change and whether NP levels can predict HF in permanent cardiac pacing. Therefore, this article reviews the role of NP levels in permanent cardiac pacing, mainly including NP changes in different cardiac pacing modes and cardiac resynchronization therapy.

“…BNP is one of the most common HF indicators [ 29 ]. Some studies revealed that biomarkers such as BNP have a good prognostic significance in the diagnosis of HF [ 30 ]. Cho et al identified that NT-proBNP and LV size were independent predictors of LV functional recovery [ 31 ].…”

Background: there are many prognostic factors of heart failure (HF) based on their evaluation from imaging, to laboratory tests. In clinical practice, it is crucial to use widely available, cheap, and easy-to-use prognostic factors, such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, 6 min walk test (6MWT), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), etc. We sought to evaluate the relationships between whole-heart myocardial mechanics and cardiac morphometrics with the main commonly used prognostic factors of HF in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM). Methods and results: two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography for myocardial mechanics (global longitudinal, radial, and circumferential strains of the left ventricle; right ventricular longitudinal strain; strain values of reservoir, conduit, and contraction function of both atria) and cardiac morphometric (diameters and volumes of both atria and ventricles) parameters were performed, and the HF main traditional prognostic factors were identified. We assessed 109 patients (68.8% male; 49.7 ± 10.5 years) with newly diagnosed NIDCM. Myocardial mechanics and morphometrics were weakly correlated with the patient’s age, gender, and smoking (R = 0.2, p < 0.05). Stronger relationships were observed with NYHA class, 6MWT, and BNP (the strongest correlations were with LVEF: R = −0.499, R 0.462, R = −0.461, p < 0.001, respectively). There were moderately strong correlations with LVEF and other whole-heart myocardial mechanics or morphometrics. Moreover, LVEF with global regurgitation volume (GRV) and right ventricle free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) were the most usually detected parameters in multivariate analysis to be associated with changes in HF prognostic factors. Conclusions: in NIDCM patients, the main prognostic factors of HF are correlated with whole-heart myocardial mechanics and morphometrics. However, LVEF, GRV, and RVFWLS are the most usually found 2D echocardiographic factors associated with changes in HF prognostic factors.
